They are amazing. I've never regretted getting them. Totally changes the feel of the car.

Why would you upgrade the diff? Why not wait to see if the factory parts hold up?
Yes I'm getting impatient. I'm tired of waiting for the KW been waiting for a long time (about a year now.) I'm losing hope. No update or actual ETA from KW frustrates me. The KW kit is nice. I looked into the you-tune kit really hard and find it not to be worth it. Although the KW dyno charts looks good. Some recent members with other kits (vortech) are getting similar dyno charts (look in the FI forum). So I question the cost of the kit and if its worth it. Besides I don't just want to burn all my money on my car. Wife will be happy too.

As for the reinforced diff, the diff is known to be the weak link on our S. Along with the upgraded diff I will be making some other changes as well. I rather not have it break on me. I want a reliable system that can take some abuse.

He needs to get Difs. One of the owners of forged is putting in 4.44 I think.

Hiep, I got a PuddyMod reinforced diff with 4.44's and the works coming in. It's being built right now and I should be getting it within the 1-2wks.

I'm going to drop by Forged to see if they can weld an O2 bung for me.

nice huy, so why the 4.44 over say a 4.57? try to stay in the supercharged torque range?

I felt that the 4.44 was just the right amount of acceleration over the stock 4.10. It would get me into my boost quicker and after every shift to redline my next gear will be in VTEC range without over revving in redline the previous gear. The other thing is a gear whine. The 4.56/4.57 is a pretty aggressive gear and will be more prone to whine so I heard. I definitely had a hard time deciding which gear to go with and after a lot of researching and discussing with Ben (the builder) he and I felt that the 4.44 was the best for me.

This is not saying the 4.56/4.57 is a bad gear, its a great gear for certain applications and what the owner is really looking for. Depending on what I want I can see using a 4.56/4.57 but I really don't know about the 4.77 never seen a car with one or the drivability.
